Cheeky you know what! I'm normally walking them to school, that's why!!! :cool:

hehehe

Gill - I've not bothered with any blankets last few days, just a vest and sleepsuit cos he gets to hot. And Jack has been really bunged up for the last 4 weeks I've not taken him docs though .
You can get saline drops from the chemist and then perhaps put something like Olbas Oil on a Muslin in the room at night. I used to tie the muslin to the handle of his wardrobe which is close to his cot.

Gym - I started Jack in his highchair at 18 weeks cos thats when I weaned him. I didn't have the Antilop but I wish I did as it's much better than the chicco one I got from asda.

Morning all. Ok night here too.

I'm disappointed the weather looks crap here today. Meeting Millie's Mum in the park in an hour, hope we don't get rained on.

Have a good day all

I would thank you krystal but I can't find the thanks button!!!!!!

Think I'll pop out for some baby vicks - should help my blocked hayfever nose too lol. My pillow is normally permanenyly covered in olbas oil in summer but his basket is up against the bed so I cant use it until he goes into his cot

ETA oooh Glam- is olbas oil ok for them? He doesnt have any blankets atm, just a sheet. he's still at the age where he needs to feel secure and snug so putting the sheet on tightly when he fist goes down seems to calm him. Plus I cant sleep without any covers so i dont like to leave him without lol

:DBeams. Yes, yes, yes!
Decided to dreamfeed him at 9.30pm, 7oz drank. He woke at 3.10am, drank another 6oz, was back in bed by 3.25am. He woke at 6.15am, I ignored him. He must have nodded off again. When i went in at 7.30 he was awake and smiley and saying hiya to me. He is in mummys very good books today.

:T Yay for Alex, dare I hope he had another good night?

I'm glad your night wasn't too bad Aless. We had a good night (for us!), D went down at 6.30, had a feed at 11.40, another at 3.30 then was up at 6 :T

Morning all,

My name is very popular in the US, although it's also a boys name there which it isn't really here!

Well done Jack - very pleased you had a good night Glam. If only the other babies would follow suit! We had a good night too - second night in a row she has pretty much slept through, 8.30pm - 7.30am!

However, daddy put her to bed, and when I went to get her this morning her nappy was leaking so have had to bath her and strip her bed already this morning. We have never had a leaky wet nappy at night before (and only twice during the day).

OH is the common one in this house, 4th!

Then J is 7th, L is 1103rd, me 1163rd and V 2643rd.

L is quite suprising as it's much more common here.



I'm having a bad morning already.

J managed to smash the microwave door and cut his arm in the process. While V was safely trapped in the living room so I could clean up the glass and J's arm, she found a nice black pen and did a little bit of decorating on my nice plain cream wallpaper.

And in L's school it's charity day, where some children do little games at playtime like guess the teddies name, how many sweets in the jar etc. She's gone to school without her purse which is full of 2p's & 5p's - when she realises it'll be the end of the world. I suppose I should be a good Mummy and take it round to school for her.

I'm not sure if I need a new microwave. I only use it for V's bottles , and occasional ready brek.


How is everyone else this morning? Better than me I hope.

I used Olibas Oil on a tissue under my pillow when Jack was in our room :silenced:

Well Done Holly and David for being good! My sister is moaning about the new Active Fit nappies (the Sesame Street ones) leaking after 2 hours but I find them OK during the day and we use Baby Dry at night. We have had a few leaky ones but I suspect its where J is a wriggle bum and I've not put it on tight enough

Oh 3 - big hugs. Was it during his banging routine? Perhaps this will put a stop to it, I would get a cheap one. I only use mine for bottles and cooking rice or baked beans

Krystal - but maybe she just needs a day or two of tantrums to learn that she won't get fed that early. I don't have much room to talk, since we're going through something similar (waking up at 5-5:30 instead of 6-6:30) but as Caitlyn's much older maybe she would get the idea. Not sure, of course! I'm sure someone with older babba will be along shortly .

I know... I just dread the few days of hour long tantrums so close to getting up time.. lol... I also need to stop feeding her to sleep for her afternoon nap... I'm thinking if we put her into Aimee's room for sleeping, then I can put her in there for naps too... But that rely's on Hubby shifting the wardrobe and Aimee's bed and I've been asking since about February... :rolleyes:

Keely Lovely to see you. How is Elliot doing? Is he a proper driving you insane toddler now?

Hello Elliot has been driving me insane for a while now lol-keeps me on my toes! He's doing really well, especially with eating. He insists on feeding himself with his little fork and does quite a good job!

sometimes o find the pharmacy staff in boots quite condescending.

when collected my BP meds yesterday, the pharmacist commented that i was 'very young' to have high blood pressure. and how long had i been taking it? not that it was any of his business....
yes i know i;m young for high BP, yes i have had all the tests, not there is no underlying reason....well apart from needing to lose weight and exercise more.......

I've had problems with my blood pressure for about 8 years now (i'm almost 26) and I get the 'you're too young to have high bp' off the gp and people all the time. I've had regular blood tests and even went for an ECG, and nothing came back wrong. I've kept my weight down (and still loosing some now), eat healthily, do exercise and don't drink or smoke-so the gp can't really tell me off for that! It's a lot to do with stress and not dealing with it well, along with white coat syndrome.

I did have some good news yesterday that my new bp pills are working and it was actually low for once!

I am we're not telling people in real life just yet... Just the not real internet people... And all of Dave's colleagues... And my Aunt, Brother, Mum and both our Dads lol...

Sorry to hear about your troubles, hope things get better for you It's toddlers next week if you fancy it?

Congrats!

I've been going to a group near me on Thursday's which is enough for me right now (and money is still tight to be honest-ive got a bus pass but its for diamond buses not the west mids ones).

Quick Question!- Elliot loves screaming, is this just another phase he will get over? The more I tell him shhh the more he grins and does it more! The looks I get from people! He doesn't do it because he's having a paddy, just for the fun of it! He seems to enjoy the attention as he smiles at people who look!

I've had mine on prescription since I was 15, back in the days when clarityn was horrifically expensive! They moved me to neoclarityn when that stopped working.

That's really strange because the only difference between clarityn and neoclarityn is that clarityn contains the active and inactive isomers whereas neoclarityn just contains the active isomer so if clarityn wasn't working I can't see how neo-clarityn would.
